Whats is the Best Exhaust for your Tacoma???

Aero turbine (now Jones) 2525. Deep sound, no drone, not hollow sounding

 

My stock is rusted out. Should I take a chance on this one?!

honestly I've always seen the 2.7 & 3.4 as different part numbers when things are listed in catalogs

I've used Walker and have no complaints (also less than that price)

 

you know, now that I think about it. It’s absurd to claim the same exhaust would work with different engines with entirely different compressions.

 

I went with a Borla Cat Back, it doesn’t sound too drone-ish, a bit deeper. I had some interesting fun getting it to connect to a Walker Cat and the TRD header- replaced the OEM, with a split crossover pipe, which didn’t survive the removal process. Ended up getting the flange cut off and repositioned to match up with the TRD header flange, up at a shop up in Fairbanks. Always a challenge when you live 2-1/2 hrs out of town.

 

Got this gibson gibson exhaust on Amazon for $150. Sounds great. Barely louder then stock.

I mean, 60 bucks, how could I go wrong even if I replace it every two years from rust...

 

My questions:

1. Anyone here under the assumption that Toyota engineered the exhaust system for optimal performance? Would changing out the muffler have any negative effects on performance?

2. If I were to switch out the muffler one day, I'm looking for a pretty close to stock sound (e.g. quiet) but maybe just a tinsy bit more growl. I read a couple pages back about the Bosal. That sounds just like what I want. Most importantly what I do not want is drone of any sort at any speed/cruise.

3. Lastly, I was always under the impression that the stock TRD exhaust was Borla. Is there any way I can confirm this on my truck?

So... any recommendations? That Bosal? Or just leave it stock?

 

Putting a dynomax ultra flo on my truck in about a week. I’ll post a video when it’s on of how she sounds

 

I had a Magna Flow dual exhaust (just because) custom done a few months ago,
Single in, dual out cat back

A little Louder than stock at idle, highway more like stock.
ZERO DRONE
